The Baltimore Ravens head into their first pre-season game at the Atlanta Falcons as slight underdogs. According to Odds Shark, the Ravens are anywhere from a 1.5 to 2.5 point underdog, depending on which sportsbook wagering site you choose to believe.
On Odds Shark, while the Falcons rate less than a field goal favorite, almost 52% of the money is being bet on the Ravens. The total points number is 34, but over 61% of the money is being placed on the "under" for the game.
It's tough to gauge the way an exhibition game will go, as the starters rarely play more than a quarter or so, and winning the game is not necessarily as much of a goal as seeing what the reserves can do in game-type situations. However, one SB Nation writer noted that Odds Shark went 11-4 on opening weekend of the 2011 NFL pre-season, so if you want to risk your hard-earned cash, here is your chance to hit it big.
